Methil railway station

The station opened on 5 May 1887, courtesy of the Leven Extension Railway. To the south lay the goods yard, featuring a large goods shed, and further south, Methil Yard, which connected to Methil Docks. Initially, it boasted nine sidings and a branch line serving Denbeath Colliery. In 1900, a second dock siding debuted, accompanied by eight additional pairs of sidings. A third dock siding followed in 1912, bringing the total to around seventeen sidings, capable of accommodating 516 wagons. The station closed to passengers on 10 January 1955^[1] but remained operational as a goods station, occasionally hosting football excursions in 1958.^[2] Methil Yard ceased general goods operations in 1980 but continued to handle coal until 1985.
